Aortocaval compression secondary to an ovarian cyst.
Ranitidine 150 mg was given orally as routine antacid treatment. Vascular preloading was with 1.0 litres of Hartmann's solution, and throughout this process the patient received 4007 oxygen in air via a face mask. The epidural space was cannulated at L2 -3 and correct placement of the catheter was confirmed with 3 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine plain. A further 10 ml was injected with the patient sitti...
متن کاملAortocaval Fistula
A 77-year-old Caucasian male with a history of hypertension presented with sudden onset of lower back pain, nausea, and vomiting. Initial vital signs included a pulse rate of 104 beats/minute, a blood pressure of 117/72 mm Hg, and pulse oximetry of 95% on room air. Abdominal examination revealed a midline pulsatile mass and bruit. The patient had bilateral lower extremity edema, which was worse...
متن کاملReturn of autonomic nervous activity after delivery: role of aortocaval compression.
We have compared measures of heart rate variability (HRV) in 15 women in late pregnancy before and 3 months after delivery and in 20 non-pregnant controls, to study the effect of aortocaval compression on autonomic nervous activity. Normalized high-frequency power was used as an index of vagal activity and the low-/high-frequency power ratio as index of sympathovagal balance. We found that the ...
متن کاملAortocaval Fistula in a Behcet's Disease Patient
Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic, recurrent, systemic disease that is characterized by oral and genital ulcers and oculocutaneous inflammatory lesions. Cardiovascular involvement especially large artery involvement is a serious and vital complication of BD. Pseudoaneurysms in the major arteries may be the cause of sudden death in BD. In our case a pulsatile abdominal mass was determined to be...
متن کاملHaemodynamic effects from aortocaval compression at different angles of lateral tilt in non-labouring term pregnant women.
BACKGROUND Aortocaval compression (ACC) can result in haemodynamic disturbances and uteroplacental hypoperfusion in parturients. Its detection is difficult because in most patients, sympathetic compensation results in no signs or symptoms. However, profound hypotension may develop after sympathectomy during regional anaesthesia. In this prospective observational study, we aimed to detect ACC by...
